The winter has finally given some respite so that I could start to translate the parchments we discovered on our previous outing.

One I have completed, it's contents below. The other, I am not familiar with the language. The first was written in Arcaad, the last two parchments I do not know. I assumed it may be Ancient given where we were wondering but upon closer inspection it doesn't appear to be...

The Arcaad translation is:

Kroylden the council are tasking you with a serious mission which is vital to the successful completion of our plans.

In order to seize control of the required territory while we enact our rituals we will need warriors.

With an escort you will travel through a path the blood wolf shaman will open to their hunting grounds where their totem spirit resides.

Construct a shrine to Gallaenar and use a binding ritual there to bind the blood wolf spirit to serve him.

This will give us domination over the tribe to exploit as we wish.

While you are there, use your judgement to summon and bind servants to protect you and enact such rituals as are required to protect our interests and feed Gallaenar.

Your success will enable us to achieve great power and you will be duly rewarded in time by the council.

So having studied the parchment closer, I have managed to translate the second script.

It states:

Darvan, time is short since our first attack on the village has been defeated. You will be equipped with a large force to lead, this is a chance to prove yourself and step up towards the inner council.

Our scouts have located an old hill fort within the valleys of a high mountain not far from the village. Set up a base there since it is within reach of another set of targets we will need to reach later.

As the weather breaks fall upon the village and retake it. This time just slaughter them rather than keep them for sacrifice. When you have taken the village we will send a ritualist to reenact the ritual and destroy the ley line. Speaking with the relic we recovered last year reveals that this is just the first step to releasing our ally's dormant power and carving out a new domain here in the north.

Great power and glory await us so do not fail. When our new ally is free we will be unstoppable here.
